Professor Parker is building up
one of the finest schools IN South

that he is a splendid educator and
are lending their cooperation
to make the school an honor to
Dawson and Southwest Georgia.
With such man as Professor
Parker at the head Of the college
there is no reason why Dawson
should not become a great educa-

one of the most prosperous coun-

some grand work to make it a snc'

that would be no disgrace to

However ifwe make no display
there will be large crowds from this

Declared a Nuisance.

At a regular meeting OF the city
| council Monday night the two lit
tie shanties between Melton Bros
store and the Hatcher new build.
ing were declared a nuisance.
Their owners ] w Brown & J w
Eaton wee notified by the Mar.
shall to have them removed, with
in weeks time, or appear before
the Council and show cause why
they should not removed them. Mr..
Brown, thinking thqt the city au-
thorities had the power to carry out
their point, proceeded, at once, to
have his house torn down, but Mr..
Eaton, thinking that he had right
to his building, refused to comply
with the commands of the Council
and will have to appear and show
cause to the contrary.
About four or five years ago Mr..
Eaton bought the lot next to Mel
ton Bros. and commenced to erect a
small frame house on it, when the
Council, knowing that it was a vic.
lation Of the city laws, forbid it.
Mr.. Eaton, so they claim, promised,
if they would let him build the
house, that he would, at any time,
remove it. In the last thirty days,
however, he has applied to the
Council to let him erect a house
20 X 80 feet. This privilege be.
ing refused him he has proceeded
to erect the building whether or
no. Melton Bros. and Hatcher
Bros, who have nice brick buildings
on each side of Mr.. Eaton have
set up complaint of damage and
applied to the Council for pro:ec>
ton.
They claim that it has made and
if a larger building is erected, will
continue to make their fire risks
more hazardous. II e increase of
insurance and danger of fire be-
sides other things is the cause of
the place being declareda nuisance.
Mr.. Eaton thinks that he has a
right 10 keep his building and de-
clares that there was no agreement
between the Council and himself
about the structure being removed.
Although it may be considered an
eye sore by the balanceof the
city; although it is "a shabby looking
place and used as store and dwell
ing combined Nr. Eaton's family
lives there and it is their home
and he feels that 10 man has the
right to trespass thereon.

of the rules is that barrooms shall
